The Bow has always been a major staple in fashion. It can be hard not to overdo it, even with something as simple as a bow. As iconic as the bow is, it makes it that much more difficult to incorporate into an outfit without it being deemed as 'kitschy.' For the past 2 years now, the bow has been seen on the runway from such popular lines like; Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino and Luella.
And lately, bowties have become the newest his-and-hers accessory. There are many sites out there to easily make simple DIY bowties for you or the man in your life. Using vintage patterns and fabrics these simple pieces can really make an outfit.
A few easy ideas to incorporate the bow include; bowtie (for her or him), a DIY bow for old heels (link included in the bottom), ribbon or scarf bows for your hair or stockings (and unmentionables), and incorporating stencil art and fabric paint for a simple design on a tote or recycled bag.
The most important rule to remember is to keep it simple. Anything can look chiq as long as you use clean lines and the correct fabrics and materials. Limiting yourself to one bow inspiration per outfit is important.
Remember to have fun with your look, and that something as iconic as the bow can never be unfashionable as long as its done right.
Happy trend hunting!
